CHRIS I too am impressed with your comments , the Phoenix is a great flyer and lands beautifully i am concerned that you want to power it with a 28lb turbine the plane was designed to fly with small turbines from 12lbs to 20 lbs. and my own plane had a PST 600R for power and it flew fast and had plenty of vertical and if you have seen the SKS video of Florida jets 06 I'm sure you would agree , so please strengthen it where ever you can and fit the larger servos ... my plane weighed in dry at 17,8 lbs and your 1300 r will probably make it weigh a little more plus noseweight to compensate for the heavier engine, still it will be a rocket ship !! watch out for hot starts with the PST I had one and lost the plane as a direct result because i failed to check under the tailplane for any signs of damage to the elevator hinge which was directlly in the line of fire for only 1/2 a second, but it was enough to melt the hinge to a an uncrontrollable sticky hard goo, hence no elevator..... i had 61 flights with my second one and loved the way the plane flew..... great value.....MK
